No, they did not "put Scriptures under lock and chain". Jesus and the Apostles did speak of false teachers and false doctrine and put those men that taught opposite of what they taught under lock and chain in a sense (locked them out of teaching/preaching! With the advent of Protestantism...

Do you know why the Catholic AND Protestant Churches put "chains on the bibles."

Sooooo you agree with all the doctrines/dogmas/beliefs/practices of The Church BEFORE the bishops of Rome lusted after political power?

Better to have Christian values as a "state religion" than Islamic values?

Hi Marks, I can see where it might look like I am evangelizing to you. I guess in a way I am. What I am doing is just quoting what He said. Nothing more. Nothing less. You have your interpretation of those passages(bread of life discourse). How old is that interpretation? When did you decide...

According to Him, not me...Yes! For very truly you must eat his body and drink his blood to have life in you and be raised on the last day. Your disagreement is not with me it is with Him.

Thanks Marks. I don't know what you mean by "reborn" so I can't answer that question. Some would say that Scripture is not clear on the fact that you have to go to a priest to receive the Eucharist. What is clear is that Jesus said Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of...

Oh goodness DNB, You are a very interesting person. What you wrote makes no sense. If the person that is picked to lead The Church is corrupt then that means tradition is broken???? Have you ever read Scripture? It is rife with corrupt men who were chosen by God!! Read their stories kiddo and...

Hi Marks, I appreciate your story and agree with you. You should have been horrified. That pastor lied to you. Several years ago I went to my spouses church. The pastor announced that we were about to receive the body and blood of Christ and he held it (a saltine cracker) up and said "At the...

Hi Marks, You are right! He said “the flesh” not "your flesh". We know He couldn’t have meant his flesh since he explained six times in verses 54-58 that eating his flesh would bring eternal life. Jesus wouldn’t contradict himself. Peace...Mary

Not with this pope. A new to the bone and in his heart Catholic pope will do something about it....IMO

Ummmm......it didn't go from many languages to one language. I don't understand what you are saying.....

There has never be a church YOU totally agree with?? Why do you think that YOU are right and everyone else is wrong when it comes to scripture interpretation, doctrine, dogma etc????? That makes no sense. What you are practicing is OPPOSITE of what Scripture teaches....Can't you see that?

Lol....I just responded to two post from @DNB where I told him/her that he is making no sense at all. Now I see you are saying the same thing having the same experience. I thought it was just me..... but apparently its not. Mary

Hi DNB, Your theology is not man made?????? Soooo what are you??? An alien from another planet? An animal?? You "feel that (you) have met that criteria whether (your) wrong or right"????? o_O Mine and @BreadOfLife theology "is not in accord with the parameters of divine doctrine."...

Ummmm......OK? o_O Soooooo you just made my point. YOU have decided what is "devoid in almost all of Catholic, and most Protestant dogma." Soooooo how is my previous statement a "non-sequitur"?????????? I'm sorry....I just can't do this anymore with you. You make zero sense to me. You...

Soooo when a person trust themselves with their own man made theology, as you have done, should we trust your interpretation of Scripture? Curious

Hi DNB, All men come to dogma thru their interpretation of Scripture. You came to dogma via your interpretation of Scripture. Soooo you hold to YOUR man-made dogma.

I am still not clear on what you believe. Would you say that the writings/teachings of Clement, Polycarp and Ignatious are acceptable teachings for Christians to adhere to? Thank you for your patience with me.....Mary

Thank you. I appreciate the apology. I find it interesting that you consider the crusades were an abomination. Did you know that the crusades were A call for Christians to defend themselves and their land against Muslims? If not for the glorious crusades the world would be predominantly...
